OK, i have a weard problem with my truck, i dont know anything about a
toyota. When driving my truck it's always had this hesitation to it
every now and then while driving at a steady speed. When first
starting it the truck takes a short while to idle to it's normal,
quite, smooth idle(maybe it's normal) I had a small cooling issue and
took the t-stat out. I drove the truck down the road(fine) turn on the
ac..{when the truck is running and you turn the ac on, the truck will
idle up/down all by itself when at a light/or just sitting??}..and got
to the store turend the ac off( not truck) I go to leave and the truck
just started running really badly, sometimes you can get the truck to
move with the accel. pressed/featherd just a bit, it will not run when
pressing it normaly, and the only way i got it back home was running
it WOT(wide open) Please, Please, anything, anyone, it's my only car,
and my DD.
thanx in advance

I'm sure there are folks in this forum who could offer useful advice
but the story is quite confusing. So let's try to untangle it. As of
now, with all electrical equipment turned off (e.g. air conditioner)
and with the engine cold (i.e. having sat overnight), let's determine
the following. (1) Will the engine start? If so, then (2) Will the
engine run normally while cold? If so, then (3) Will the engine warm
up to normal operating temperature and maintain that temperature? If
so, then (4) Will the engine idle smoothly at a constant, normal speed
after it has reached normal operating temperature? With succinct
answers to the above, we may began to understand where the problem(s)
lie. Thanks. Al
